    RQ Network Feed Drop - The Program audio series: Create Read Update Delete

    This month we are featuring a feed drop of one of many exciting podcasts on the RQ Network: The Program audio series. 
     
    The Program is a dark science fiction anthology set in a future in which Money, State, and God have become fused into a single entity. The show focuses on ordinary people inhabiting this extraordinary world. And for them, it is not this future that is terrifying – it is our present. This episode of The Program audio series is called Create Read Update Delete and is narrated by Zach Valenti. It follows a man who discovers a parallel simulation to his own and ends up involved with the ultimate A/B test. You can find the episode transcript at https://programaudioseries.com/17-create-retrieve-update-delete/. 
     
    The Program audio series is created and produced by IMS. Introduction and outro by Anusia Battersby. Listen to The Program on the Rusty Quill website, on Acast, on its official website, or wherever you get your podcasts.

It me ndnwnsb ,

Ahhhhh

No mum it isn’t a faze

GKPea ,

Finally giving into the trenches of tumblr

Despite being in the throes of tumblr warfare when TMA was first released it’s taken me this long to actually listen (and immediately re-listen). Astounding writing, slick episodes and an overall brilliantly immersive experience. I honestly can’t get enough of the lore and the depth of detail and am beyond excited to see what The Magnus Protocol brings. Thank you all for giving us stories that are drenched with horror but also love - love for the themes, the characters, storytelling, the listeners.

u dont get 2 know my name. ,

statement begins

theres a reason the magnus archives is such a well known and well loved audio drama, and that reason is that jonny can write a damn good torte of tragedy
(i sure do love my horror desserts. anyone for some grim souffle?)
join us in sobbing over every single character, in creating elaborate theories and conspiracies, in staring wide eyed at the ceiling for hours every night, newly terrified of whatever the fear of the week is
with 200 episodes of content and the magnus protocol in the works, youll be here a while
welcome home, friend
please dont stare at the eyes on the walls too long
or the doors
or anything, actually
